FAQ
An option to purchase real estate is a legally-binding contract that allows a prospective buyer to enter into an agreement with a seller, in which the buyer is given the exclusive option to purchase the property for a period of time and for a certain (sometimes variable) price.
Broadly, a real estate option is a specially designed contract provision between a buyer and a seller. The seller offers the buyer the option to buy a property by a specified period of time at a fixed price. The buyer purchases the option to buy or not buy the property by the end of the holding period.
A lease-option is a contract in which a landlord and tenant agree that, at the end of a specified period, the renter can buy the property. The tenant pays an up-front option fee and an additional amount each month that goes toward the eventual down payment.
If the buyer simply changes their mind during the option period, all they lose is their option fee. If they change their mind later than that, they should lose their earnest money unless they find a valid excuse in the contract for terminating. There is nothing a seller can do keep a buyer from changing their mind.
Complete a Vermont Registration, Tax, and Title application(VD-119) and submit it (together with the above documentation and the appropriate fees) to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles.
An option- to-purchase agreement is an arrangement in which, for a fee, a tenant or investor acquires the right to purchase real property sometime in the future.
The Vermont title loophole works because the state of Vermont is a non-titling jurisdiction.For that reason, the registration provided is a valid document that can be used in other states to exchange for a title. You will even receive license plates.
How long does an option last? An option typically lasts 24 months but the timeframe to exercise is completely negotiable at the agreement stage.
